I am willing to take a wait and see approach on them and see how they impact the industry. Higher lumber prices could reduce waste in home building and construction more generally, and also encourage better management and use of timber lands. It seems like lower cost imported timber encourages a race to the bottom, and often leaves forests that should be managed for both a sustainable harvest and other management goals like wildlife to be ignored. One very under tapped resource is small-land owner timber, as low prices have discouraged many homesteaders and small scale farmers from developing their timber lands not just for firewood but also timber sales.
